And if it wasn't an AR Vector it was the Western Turbine...the two most popular C3 wheels back in the day...
Help identifying wheels?

American Racing Vectors were a very popular wheel for Corvettes in the 70's and 80's. They seemed to look better on Corvettes then on most other cars. I had a friend who put a set on his 74 shortly after it was delivered, and knew a few racers that used them on SCCA Corvettes.

There's some on ebay and they call them
M
Modern Western Turbine wheel 5x5 rim Appliance ET Hurricane Vector style ARW
Which covers most every brand and name so I'm guessing there's no actual manufactures name on them and there were another knock-off when the trend was hotM
